Seasons Change, God Does Not

There is a change happening in our midst. Can you feel it? What do you see? Summer is is being wrapped by the golden hued branches of  Autumn's cool embrace. My taste buds crave that of decadent, rich flavors, being manipulated by the perpetual sight of pumpkins waiting to be baked with nutmeg and cinnamon upon a warm flaky crust. And, rectangular signs litter lawns and fences, hoping to persuade The People politically, in remembering someone's accentuated name. Yes, the seasons are changing, but on Earth as it is in Heaven? I believe that what we experience in the physical is a hint as to what is also happening in the spiritual. As our seasons change on the calendar what other season is approaching that can only be seen with spiritual eyes? The United States of America once lived and believed it was 'One Nation Under God'. This is now a season in our country when not only the leaves are falling, but moral and political standards as well. Thankfully, God in His preeminence saw this season coming and reassured us in Daniel 2:21 that, ' He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.' While the person governing this country is slinging hate in hopes to earn a vote, our hope as Christians is in the Promise of our Savior Jesus Christ. Hebrews 8:1 reassures us that, 'We have such a High Priest who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the Heavens,' who doesn't sling, put pierces our hearts with Love in sparkling intention. In your understanding, let this be a season of radiant Love of which you are changed by His word as such in 2 Corinthians 3:18, 'being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.' Now, please excuse me while I begin my transformation while sipping my pumpkin spiced latte. Mmmmm, God is so good!

  1. Good word and beautifully written, Shannon. I was not familiar with that verse in Daniel and love that. Love you!
